Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
The plt had not obtained a wx briefing, but had gotten info from another company plt who had flown into the destination arpt earlier. During arrival, he could see the rotating beacon & rwy lights thru some fog & elected to make a visual apch. At aprx 75 ft AGL on final apch, thicker fog was encountered, but the rwy lights were still in sight. The plt continued the apch until he saw he was passing the operations building, then he knew there was insufficient rwy remaining to stop safely, so he initiated a go-around. However, he was unable to clear trees off the departure end of the rwy. After colliding with the trees, the acft was landed in a field where it skidded aprx 150 yards to a stop without injury to the plt or cargo handler.
